What does Airbnb consider a child?

Airbnb considers children to be between 2 and 12 years old. For them, the base capacity is the same as the maximum number of guests in the listing, however as reservations are made per adult, the limit is variable per reservation. Example: Your listing accepts a maximum of 5 guests.

Let the Host know who's coming—including infants and children—when making a trip request. While infants (children under 2 years old) don't often incur any extra costs, some Hosts count children as guests, which can add an additional guest fee to the reservation.

Airbnb employs third-party background check providers to look into the history of both hosts and guests.

The Host may ask for ID upon check-in, if done in person and if the requirement is in the Host's house rules at the time of booking or is required under applicable laws. Some regions have laws that require guests to register with local authorities.

For example, many hotels allow guests 16+ to book a room, but require 18+ to check-in. This allows younger travelers to book in advance with parental permission, but avoids unaccompanied minors checking in. Hotels want evidence of parental consent for underage bookings. Requiring adult check-in provides supervision.

MORE DETAILS

Generally speaking, minors aged 17 or younger must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older when staying in a hotel. That being said, some hotels have a more lax policy and will allow a group of minors aged 17 or younger to stay in the same room as long as there is an 18-year-old present.

If you're under the age of 18 and want to book a hotel room, consider booking through a travel agency or with a parent or guardian's credit card. Travel agencies may have more lenient age policies, and using a parent or guardian's credit card for the room deposit may increase your chances of being able to book a room.
